You Knew From Day One

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirty-nine years ago today A whisper turned my world around You looked at me, you knew the way Before I ever made a sound A quiet yes, a steady hand You saw the man I'd come to be [Chorus] Oh what a love, oh what a life My greatest blessing, my dearest wife Faith in the morning, grace through it all You're the reason I still stand tall Hand in hand we'll always be You and me, you and me [Verse 2] A mother, sister, friend so true A heart that gives and never tires Our boy grew up beneath your wings In a home you built with love and prayer You carry everyone you know Mary Alice, how your kindness shows [Chorus] Oh what a love, oh what a life My greatest blessing, my dearest wife Faith in the morning, grace through it all You're the reason I still stand tall Hand in hand we'll always be You and me, you and me [Bridge] Down at the barn the horses know That gentle way you teach and lead Passing the gift to younger hearts Selfless soul, that's who you are [Verse 3] Mary Alice, my true love You knew it from that very day Wow, the years have come and gone And still I'd choose you every way My life is full, my life is whole 'Cause you walked in and stayed [Chorus] Oh what a love, oh what a life My greatest blessing, my dearest wife Faith in the morning, grace through it all You're the reason I still stand tall Hand in hand we'll always be You and me, you and me [Outro] Thirty-nine years, and counting on Mary Alice, you're my song Love you always, love you true Skip will always belong to you
